Did you miss that they're trying to usurp him and take the throne for themselves?
Honestly they haven't been doing a good job at it. Where I live there is a saying that goes "If you are going to hurt a snake, make sure you kill it.". They should just feign obedience biding their time or outright assassinate the crown prince, not half ass openly bullying them just for their own satisfaction.

He's aware they've gone through a lot of childhood trauma, which further proves their actions towards him is in the wrong and that they should be put in their place!

Also, I love these variant covers they have for Serena.

Considering the Translator thoughts on page 24, I think the context is being ignored.
He shouldn't be thinking that Violet would "kill" her enemies herself, but more like act as a villainous daughter and use her family to get rid of them.

He shouldn't know about her assassin abilities, although her behavior does give some ideas of her mental fortitude.

Rather than ruthlessly killing everyone in her way, I'd say there is also a good chance that she would just dip. She was going to early in the story. Her problem solving skills have been, violence, reasoned arguments that almost always fall on deaf ears, and a general willingness to just leave. Sure she has some people she cares about now and wouldn't want to abandon, but if she was in that prince's position without anyone she cared about? She would be gone.

I think that kinda plays into Shagard's realization that they're just as abused as he is, albeit in a different fashion.
They're being manipulated by their mother who just wants the power they represent for herself, they're judged and ignored by nearly everyone around them for being "concubine children", and are thus being pressured to both seize the throne and being told they're utterly unworthy of it.

But they're children. They're spoiled and cruel and immature, but they're not evil, and so they're not thinking about outright killing Shagard, but doing just want he'd said: venting their frustrations at their own powerlessness.

If they outright kill him, that not going to work. Legally the blonde is already crown prince, and although they live on palace the twin dont have the right to become the crown.

And dont forget that they supporter is mostly just low noble.

This student exchange is the pivotal poin for their plan. If the boy married a duke daughter, and the girl maried, to the prince. Even if they dont have supporter on their kingdom. They got this kingdom as their supporter.

Make it more difficult to overthrown them if they succeed

Like Rosemary and the 2nd Prince, they’re not outright evil or irredeemable. Simply products of their environments. A spoiled brat who was constantly told she was the world’s most lovable person getting an upgrade in status will become more arrogant, especially if majority of people around her refuse to say no or properly reprimand her.

A prince whose mother and maternal family is power hungry and is told from a young age not to trust or associate with his half brother, that he should be king but is constantly compared negatively against said brother will lash out and desire control and genuine validation in his own life.

And finally children, born out of an affair with egoistic and selfish parents, either denied or buttered up by people who despise them for their status as illegitimate children or just want in with power, will only trust each other and themselves.

I hope they can change Ismail’s fate. I think it’s too cruel.

I mean I didn’t age still don’t like Rosemary, but she and the others are still young. They can change their ways and forge their own paths.

Talk no jutsu ! In just a few sentences, years of depressed thoughts disappeared like that !
Disappeared? We'll see about that in future chapters, but for now they're all there, even being shown to us. He's just reflecting and starting to have a change of attitude. Even irl, sometimes a conversation like that can be the spark for that, though very often people just revert back to old habits, but Shagard here has absolutely everything he needs in a material sense to do something about his situation. Though, if you're being ironic, my bad.

yeah - this chapter fully convinced me that the twins should not die. They do need to face consequences, but honestly I hope they get help, more than anything.

Their parents need to be properly dealt with, I think - mostly because they are adults, the mom's using her kids as tools for her own selfish ends, and the dad/prince is just a horny bastard who would make a terrible king anyway and would probably be best relegated to some backwater manor with all his titles stripped of him and left with some hot women and enough money to satisfy his lust but not actually cause problems for royalty or country.

But given Shagard seems to think emulating his new muse Serena means "killing everyone" (weird conclusion since he doesn't know she's an assassin, but okay), I wonder if this will be Serena's moment to grow and convince him not to execute his half-siblings and instead choose a more level-headed path. It feels like that might be the direction this plot point is going, anyway - something to push Serena to continue developing past her "survival of myself is all that matters, kill all threats in the way" mentality.
